that's "ask carol" for today. i hope you're learning to be more of a healthy you. hello, everyone. welcome to america's news headquarters, i'm gregg jarrett. fres fresh. in the moonlt meantime. president obama offering a qualified apology of the american people, of the many promises that were broken when the marketplace opened. molly is live from washington with more. >> hi, greg. specifically the promise by the president that if you liked your health insurance plan, you can keep it under obama care. but republicans say more and

more americans who are getting notices saying they're going to lose their health insurance plans and will have to pay more for new plans are feeling a, quote, sense of betrayal. >> the white house, the president isn't leveling with us. he's trying to cover his tracks, claiming he never really made these promises. no wonder a member of his own party called this a crisis of confidence. if the president's truly sorry about all this, he'll take steps to right this wrong. >> congressman young says the house will take up a bill next week that would allow people to keep their current health insurance plans. the president said this week that he was sorry that people are finding themselves in this situation, braced on assurances they got from me. he insists most of these people will end up with better coverage once they get on the obama care website. >> i regret very much that what

we intended to do, which is to make sure that everybody is moving into better plans because they want them, as opposed to because they're forced into it. th that. tax payer dollars to help may for their plannings. that part of the sight will be down until tuesday morning. greg? >> molly, thanks very much. the fox news extreme weather alert now, the most powerful storm in over 30 years is

ripping through the philippines, look at these amazing new images. this is the monster storm as it looks from space. the typhoon has left at least 1,000 people dead, according to to the red cross. that number, though, expected to rise sharply. as this storm barrels toward vietnam. . >> those images are incredible, aren't they? the ones from space. this was a perfect storm. it was a perfect strength. these images we're just getting in. if you look at the storm before it made landfall, the estimates are 195-mile-per-hour sustained winds. they don't have hurricane hunters or air force reconnaissance like we do when we go out and investigate. this is preliminary, we still are going to have to see how this pans out. but right now, if it does make landfall, or it did make

landfall as a 195-mile-per-hour sustained storm, it will be the strongest landfalling tropical cyclone on record. and one of the ways we deem this incredibly strong, is look at how circular, that eye s it mean it is incredible. that's as strong as you get. as an eye making landfall across this region, this very vulnerable area. taking a look at katrina, at the height of katrina's strength, the category 5, taking a look at this really beautiful looking storm, but just a monster. and then high on, before it made landfall, you can see again, that circular structure, and that perfect eye right there. actually haiyan is smaller comparatively speaking to katrina. and katrina, once it made landfall was a cat 3, which we think was equivalent to a cat 5. this is the latest, so it has

gone down to category 2. we still think it could be a strong cat 1 as it makes a second landfall across vietnam over the next couple of days and we could see rain estimates over two feet in this region. back to you. a mandatory evacuation order is now under way in vietnam as it braces for the onslaught of this typhoon, more than 500,000 people living in a direct danger zone. told to head to shelters and government buildings, cities and coastal areas, especially vulnerable. people there are putting up sandbags, securing boats as they await the approaching storm. the 2,000-pound satellite the falling back toward earth now, expected to crash sometime between sunday night and monday afternoon. scientists say there's no way to be sure when or where it will hit. this type of satellite is designed to orbit at a very low altitude, to measure the

planet's gravity. this one ran out of gas last month and has been steadily sinking. negotiations at a stand still over iran's nuclear program, day three of meetings in geneva, secretary of state john kerry, and other world powers, trying to come up with a possible deal, reducing iran's nuclear capability. but they remain split as to the way to do that. jennifer griffin has more from washington. >> greg, it seems that talks in geneva have hit a snag, at least according to the french foreign minister who has been forthright and -- when secretary of state john kerry abruptly changed his schedule to fly to geneva and the talks entered an unexpected third day, the tone coming from leaders involved in the meetings

began to change. >> we haven't done the deal yet. we haven't made this deal yet. so i think everybody will have to comment on it if and when we come to any conclusions and make that judgment about it then. >> the iranians want sanctions lifted immediately on their oil and banking sectors and may not be satisfied with the west's proposal for a one-time infusion of $50 billion in cash that was frozen in european banks when the sanctions went into effect. and then there is the issue of iran's plutonium producing reactor. it's not clear that the iranians will agree to western demands to downgrade its stockpiles of enriched uranium. the iranians already have 100 pounds of enriched plutonium. time is of the essence, and yet the talks in geneva which looked

so promising when senator kerry and others made their way to general near have. we're going to have all this with k.t. mcfarland coming up. jonathan martin set to meet now with the nfl's special investigator this next week. the informal will be looking into allegations that the dolphins guard ritchie incognito and others harassed martin. incognito was suspended shortly after martin quilt the team. the league is also vinvestigatig whether the team knew of the bullying and mishandled the entire matter. why british investigators are questioning a newspaper editor. and get ready for a lunar light show involving a comet and the sun. there's a preview. it's out of this world, we're going to tell you where the

welcome back. time for a quick check of the headlines. british lawmakers they will question the editor of the gu d guardian newspaper over the nsa spying scandal. this after a leak on surveillance programs provided by this guy, nsa leaker, edward snowden. and the navy bribery scandal continues. and it's beginning to look a lot like christmas. 76-foot norway spruce from connecticut is the 2013

rockefeller center christmas tree in new york city, a couple of blocks here, the tree lighting ceremony slated for december 4. iran's nuclear talks in geneva, appear to be breaking down the negotiations stretching into unexpected third day as world powers are split on the best way to reduce iran's nuclear weapons capability. joining us now to talk about it, security analyst k.t. mcfarlan. does it look as though president obama may be out of desperation, he's trying to strike a deal that's worse than no deal at all. that is to say, iran pretends to stop their nuclear program and the obama administration pretends to believe them. >> yeah, i think that you have actually got a really good point here, every president, as he's getting to his final years is thinking about his legacy. and in this case, president obama's legacy is supposed to be

obama care. but that's a disaster. so they have got to look abroad. i mean nixon did it, clinton did it. reagan even did it. secretary kerry decided he was going to negotiate with the palestinians and the israelis, well that's going nowhere. obama thought maybe syria, the red line on syria. well that's blown up. so what's left, iran? they are desperate for this deal with iran and the iranians know. where they are now is that the united states and the west, we want to run iran to roll back i nuclear plan or stop it in place. and stopping it in its place is not going to be good for israel. >> we're talking got the left lifting some of the sanctions on iran, but that would leave intact, actually a substantial part of tehran's nuclear weapons making ability so in truth, what

good is that? >> well, they want their cake and they want to eat it too. so iran wants us to lift sanctions so they can improve their economy. and they want to improve their nuclear capabilities. a will make them the strongest henchmen in the middle east. what are we likely to give them? i think we have all right indicated that we are lifting the sanctions, there's been some indications that the obama administration has been lifting the sanctions for the last several months. so the iranians are getting what they want. other countries in the region, they're not going to look at a deal and say, oh, great, iran's no longer going to be a nuclear weapons state. maybe technically iran won't be, but in fact they are. so we are going to nuke up, we are going to get our own nuclear weapons. the saudis have already said they have got on order.

>> turkey and egypt will get on board with the same thing. >> turkey, egypt and whether you're going to see them, greg, in the middle east, the most unstable part of the world is going to have the world's most lethal weapons. and as long as we get our oil from that part of the world, we're going to be stuck with it. >> iran has so many centrifuges, and they're spinning away. and it's kind of hard to know where they all are. it's kind of a shell game. and how far along they are in producing weapons-grade materials, i'm not sure we exactly know how close could they be, do you think? >> well, most experts say that -- nobody's saying that they're more than a year away, everybody's saying, months, weeks, some experts say one, some experts say another. but to put it into perspective, greg, there are twice as many

centrifuges in iran than there are starbucks in the united states. i mean they are all over, they have the ability -- the other countries in the region, major roll back of their program, the other countries in the region are going to proliferate. and the whole point of a deal with iran, was so that there would not be nuclear proliferation in the middle east. it will encourage those countries, because the united states will look like we are blessing the iranian program. >> and i would assume that the israelis and benjamin netanyahu won't stand for that. what are their options? >> they invented the game of th news at it. so they have not everybody check mated. we're now negotiated with iran. if israel were to do some kind

of military option, those negotiations would blow up. who do you think president obama is going to blame for that? he'll blame israel. because it looks like israel is going to take away obama's great legacy. so israel, and i think that window for israeli option, military option has closed. that's why i think you're seeing that sort of desperate look of president netanyahu's face, he knows it's really going to be tough for israel or anybody to stopper rang at this point. again, that's why it's so important to get our oil from someplace other than the middle east. >> we need to -- >> iran is not only eventually going to have nuclear weapons, and eventually maybe within a year, nuclear weapons. but they also have missiles that have the ability to deliver them to europe and eventually within five years, to deliver them to the u.s. energy independence and missile

look up in the skies. stargazers are getting a real treat right now, and it will culminate in one of the closest comet encounters with the sun around thanksgiving at the end of the month. here to talk to us is the editor-in-chief of astronomy. good to see you.

this one is called a sun grazer. explain that. >> it is a sun grazer because the comet is coming in and passing close to the sun. about 1.8 kilometers which is a long hike. but for a comet it is close to the sun. that means it is getting very, very bright if it is that close to our star on november 28th. >> could the sun de voi it? sun destroy it? >> it could break apart. the gravity of the sun could pull the comet apart and fragment it. some will come closer than this one will. it will do a straight dive into the sun and completely disintegrate. nobody knows if it will survive. but there is a possibility it could break up. >> what could this comet tell us? could it tell us some things about the origin of the universe and the solar system and so forth? >> they are on the edge of our

solar system a long, long way away. it is from the edge and it comes close. comets are mostly water, but they contain compounds and molecules. the only comet sampled with a return to earth and contain the molecule glicene that is an amino acid and one of the building blocks of life. it cannot only tell us about the early solar system and how our solar system formed, but possibly about the abundance of life and the universe. >> it is so close to the sun, anything about the sun itself? >> yes, it can. we noah lot about the sun as a star and the gravity is what dominates our sew darr sis -- solar system and makes our lives the way it does. we can always find out more about the sun as we see more objects encountering it. >> clearly you are watching this thing.

what are you most excited about? what do you expect to see? >> i am excited because comets give you a rare opportunity to see things moving in the sky. most of the stars and the galaxies and things are so far off that the sky just looks like a status canvas and earth rotates, of course, and be see everything move. but to see something move through our solar system and dynamically change is very exciting. so unfortunately this is an early morning comet. you have to get up at 4:00 a.m. and get out and look toward the constellations, leo and virgo, now to see this comet. you can find maps. it is almost to where you can see it with the naked eye alone. you need binoculars. in a couple days you will be able to see it with the eye and you can go to astronomy.com and find maps that will show you exactly where to look in the sky. >> let me switch subjects. i son -- i only have a minute

left. the international spacestation was a walk today and they were holding the olympic torch without the flame. i think we have a picture of it. that's pretty neat. >> that's never happened before. it is a unique thing and it shows the international cooperation of the spacestation. we have the platform and lower orbit that is going around and doing the sign isk it experiments -- scientific experiments and of course russia and the united states among them. but it will be exciting for that moment when the torch makes it back down to earth and we see it at the olympics next spring. >> good to see you. thanks so much. that's it for this edition of america's news headquarters. >> everything becomes new. >> that was it. i pointed the gun right at her.

>> how could we be seat free?

tonight, the president's sub par apology. >> we put in a clause in the law that said if you had one of those plans even if it was sub par when the law was i passed you could keep it. i am sorry that they arepass finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me. joy hello -- >> hello, everyone. it is foif:00 in new york city and this is "the five." >> is he really sorry for breaking his promise to millions of americans that if they like their health care plan they can keep them?
